Natalie Harp’s Brother Reveals Truth of Bitter Family Feud

Kevin Lamarque / REUTERS The estranged brother of President Donald Trump’s most loyal aide has spilled new details on what he views as his sister’s “obsession” with the president.

Natalie Harp’s brother Preston, who has been estranged from his sister and mother for several years, told the Washington Post that the final tipping point in their family was the way they went about their father’s death.

Preston, 38, said he received a phone call from Natalie, 35, in 2020, during which Preston, who remained close to his father while distancing himself from his mother and sister, found out that his father had died by suicide in their California home.

He credits his father’s deteriorating mental state and ultimate death with the mental toll that the pandemic took at the time.

He said the two wanted to keep the father’s cause of death private and say he died in his sleep, but he said that was the disagreement that ultimately broke their family.

“I just said, ‘I’m going to say what the police said,’” Preston said.

“He hung himself in the garage.” But he explained that Natalie then moved deeper into the MAGA space as she became convinced of Trump’s election lies.

She also spoke at the Republican National Convention as she proclaimed that Trump saved her life while she was receiving cancer treatment.

Preston, too, has gone on a political journey, instead veering leftward, calling himself “radicalized.” He has since moved to Nicaragua and has joined the Sandinistas, whom he said he is prepared to die for.

He explained that around 2019 their father had become increasingly frustrated that his wife and daughter were becoming such fans of Trump.

He said that his late father “was not a fan” of Trump.

Natalie’s role within Trump’s orbit ramped up when in 2019 she wrote a LinkedIn post crediting Trump with saving her life, which earned her an interview with Fox News.

Trump later called into the program to call her an “incredible, unbelievable young woman.” “She lit up the television screen like very few people I’ve ever seen do it,” Preston said of that moment.

He said that his political journey only accelerated after his sister spoke at the RNC.
